What your day could look like

As a Clinical Nurse in Adult Community Mental Health, you'll play a vital role in supporting people on their recovery journey while strengthening care across the community. From delivering person-centred care plans to guiding clinical decisions, you'll work as part of a collaborative team to achieve meaningful outcomes for individuals and their families.

Every day, you'll contribute by:

• Delivering advanced, recovery-focused mental health care that improves wellbeing and supports independence
• Coordinating care with multidisciplinary teams to ensure safe, consistent and person-centred outcomes
• Leading clinical decision-making and supporting others through mentoring and shared expertise
• Driving quality improvements and innovation that enhance service delivery and patient experience

Let's Talk About You

You're a confident and compassionate clinician who brings both expertise and empathy to your work. You value connection, understand the importance of trust, and take pride in helping people navigate complex challenges toward recovery. You naturally step into leadership moments, guiding others while staying grounded in respectful, person-centred care.

Here's what will help you thrive in this role:

• Current registration as a Registered Nurse with a valid practising certificate
• Strong experience in adult mental health, including assessment, care planning and case management
• Ability to collaborate effectively and lead clinical decisions within a multidisciplinary team
• Sound understanding of mental health legislation, standards and safe practice principles

You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience working in regional or community settings and/or postgraduate qualifications or credentials in mental health nursing.

Most importantly, you'll bring compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation and courage to everything you do—helping shape care that truly makes a difference.

In this role, your leadership and care will strengthen community wellbeing and support better mental health outcomes across the region.
